Why is it better to go to a funeral than a feast?

Answered in 1 source

Funerals prompt deep reflection on life and mortality, which can lead to spiritual growth, unlike the distractions found at feasts.

Ecclesiastes 7:2 states it is better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting because funerals encourage serious thought about our relationship with God and the brevity of life. While feasting may bring temporary joy, it often distracts from the reality of our mortality. The preacher explains that in sorrowful times, we confront profound truths about our existence, our sins, and the need for redemption, which are often ignored during lighter times.
